Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) IT officer Japhet Dibo has resurfaced after he was reported missing on August 18.
According to his lawyer, Trevor Lichuma, Dibo was abducted by unknown people on the day that he was reported missing (Thursday, August 18) at night.
The abductors would release him on Friday, August 19 at 2:00 p.m. when his disappearance had already been reported to the police.
IEBC contracted Dibo as an Information Technology Consultant during the election period.
At the time, he worked at his office situated in KISM Towers, Nairobi county.
“Detectives attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) are investigating the matter and we hope they will get to the bottom of it all,” Lichuma stated.
Dibo’s wife, Flora Aluoch, noted that her husband had left his office on Thursday night in the company of an unknown person and never returned home.
Fearing the worst, she reported the matter to Kilimani police station under O/B number 39/19/08/2022. She revealed that her husband was last seen donning a light blue shirt and navy blue pair of trousers.
Dibo, an IT specialist, owns Dial Africa- which is a platform that enables a smooth customer experience through interactions and is a cloud based and AI-powered tool.
The incident comes days after IEBC Embakasi East Returning Officer, Daniel Musyoka, was found dead in Amboseli park, Kajiado county after missing for six days.
